Our favorite pancake recipe


(Today's post is a little off-topic, but I wanted to share this with you....)

YUM! This is my favorite pancake recipe, which I adapted from fatsecret.com. So, not only is it extremely tasty, but it is also low fat/low calorie! (Makes 8-10 medium sized pancakes)

4 large egg whites
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 3/4 - 2 cups oatmeal (recipe calls for 1 3/4 cup, but it always seems too runny for me, so I add more)
1 tsp baking powder
2 TBS sugar
3/4 cup skim milk

Put oats in blender and blend until they are smooth (you can leave them whole, but we prefer the fine texture over the lumpy 'whole oat' texture). Mix all ingredients together to form batter. If the batter is too runny, add more oats. Spray cooking spray in pan or on griddle, and cook on medium heat. ENJOY!

For toppings, you can use traditional syrup, or for a low calorie topping, you can use mashed strawberries, crushed pineapple, applesauce, or yogurt.

Your recipe sounds really good. I think we will try them for breakfast this week. I just love oatmeal in pancakes!

This sounds great, this is just what I need to change up our Breakfast for Dinner Thursdays. We have pancakes a lot. Can't wait to try this.
Does it matter which kind of oats you use. I have quick oats and old fashioned.

I use old fashioned oats, but I don't think it matters, since I grind them in the blender until they have a flour consistency.

Just wanted to let you know we made these and I blogged about it in my Breakfast for Dinner Thursdays post.
They were definitely different than what we are used to. I actually think I would like them with out the nutmeg. I used to like it but now, not so much. I added the extra oatmeal with out checking first if it was too thin. I think I may try it thinner next time first with extra cinnamon and no nutmeg. Other than that, we really liked them. Hubby and older son had no complaints. Though Hubby was trying to figure out what was in them. hehehehe
Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant pancake recipe! I'm eating pancakes right now but it kinda taste like marshmallows. It also has that texture when you eat them. Don't know what's wrong. I used the Pillsbury Pancake mix + egg and water. Might try your pancake recipe before I get my Food Safety Course. Thanks!
